Narrative:
During the position relief briefing I was informed aircraft X was a full stop; the strip marking was consistent with a full stop. The aircraft then did a touch and go with a clearance to do so. I informed the flm that we had just had a pilot deviation.the language barrier here at dvt is unacceptable. Pilots don't understand or respond they just do whatever they want. Errors like this must be stopped before someone gets hurt.
